📖 How It Works

Our Retirement Goal Calculator uses the time value of money to estimate how much your savings will grow by the time you retire. Here's how it works:

Future Value of Current Savings - Your existing retirement savings grow at the expected annual return rate, compounded monthly, until you retire.
Future Value of Monthly Contributions - Each monthly contribution also grows with compound interest. The formula used is the future value of an ordinary annuity: FV = PMT x [((1 + r/12)^(n x 12) - 1) / (r/12)]
4% Withdrawal Rule - A common retirement guideline suggesting you can withdraw 4% of your total savings annually without running out of money over a 30-year retirement.

💡 Why It Matters

⏰

Start Early

The earlier you start saving, the more time compound interest works in your favor. Small monthly contributions today can grow into significant savings.
